About our kitchen deep cleaning in Stoke
In Stoke, we fit deep cleans around the hours the kitchen cooks. Most are done overnight, early in the morning or at the weekend so there’s no lost trade. School kitchens are often done in the holidays. The work covers stainless steel surfaces, behind and under equipment and floors and floor drains, and people most often call us about greasy, slippery kitchen floors and food debris trapped under the range.
Work in a small place like Stoke starts with agreeing a date and access.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How the job changes from site to site
School and care home kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens cannot close for long. We plan the work to fit.
Floors
Grease builds up along the edges and under equipment. That’s where we focus.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a village like Stoke are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Stoke: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Stoke be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Stoke. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work overnight in Stoke?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Do you cover Stoke?
Yes. Our technicians work in Stoke, within the South East and London area we cover.
How long does a kitchen deep clean take?
A typical kitchen takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites, including setting up and clearing away. It’s planned around your opening times.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Is there anything we have to do beforehand?
Clear food and small items from surfaces. Cooking equipment needs to be switched off and allowed to cool before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Write down what gets cleaned and when
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
- Clean behind movable equipment regularly
- Don’t let the extract cleaning slip
Many kitchens book the next deep clean before we leave. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind all year round.
Splashes left on hot surfaces bake on. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and helps the equipment last.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
- The inside of the extract system
- Appliance breakdowns
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Behind and under equipment
- Walls and ceilings
- Floors and floor drains
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Fryers and grills
- Ranges and ovens
Common problems we fix in Stoke
Busy periods leave little time for anything beyond the essentials. Weeks of that, wherever the kitchen is in Stoke, let grime build behind and above the equipment.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Preparation for an EHO inspection
- A kitchen that needs a clean start
- Food debris trapped under the range
- Food debris that could attract pests
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like St Mary Bourne Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Stoke: local notes
Kitchens in Stoke get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. At about 60 miles from central London, Stoke sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Stoke (the nearest hospital is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 4.6 miles south-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
Stoke is about 5 miles north-east of Andover, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SP11, we can carry out kitchen deep cleaning at your premises. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. Reading is in our area too, about 23 miles from Stoke.
All of SP11 is within our area for kitchen deep cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. That includes premises on Chapel Lane, Crabtree Lane and Stoke Hill and the roads around them. We also cover the places around Stoke: Hurstbourne Tarrant (2 miles north-west), Little London (2 miles south-west), Ibthorpe (2 miles north-west), Smannell (2 miles south-west) and Upper Enham (2 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Basingstoke (14 miles east), Winchester (15 miles south), Andover (5 miles south-west), Tadley (14 miles north-east), Hyde (14 miles south) and Popley (15 miles east).
Around Stoke
Typical jobs here are in premises near White Hart pub, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 4.1 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Andover War Memorial Hospital (4.6 miles south-west) and Finkley Down Farm Museum (3.2 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Anton Lakes and Sidown Hill.
Why act early in Stoke
Environmental health visits aren’t always announced in advance. A kitchen with grime behind equipment and on ceilings is harder to defend even when the daily clean is good. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen inspection-ready. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
